*****OCFR have a new vehicle - 100% Electric*****
Could you or your company commit to an annual sponsorship payment towards the cost of our First Responder vehicle?
If so, please get in touch with us.
Fundraising & Donations
Community First Responders receive no government funding. All the services provided are financially reliant on funds generated by donations and the schemes fundraising.
How do we raise funds?
Fundraising is never an easy achievement and as a registered charity, we are always looking at new ways to raise funds.
The funds raised go towards providing defibrillators at a cost of around £1000 per unit for each member of the team, as well as a fully operational, stocked kit bag costing around £2000.

A recognisable uniform, personal protective equipment and leasing of the new vehicle are all supported through the funds raised.
We raise these funds by:
- Receiving donations in the form of cheques from businesses and the public
- Electronic donations using the donate button above
- Collecting buckets at the Oundle festivals where we have a gazebo
